equality in fact, while at the South
both fact aud theory agree in deny.

encouraged to improve himself on

Although the base ball game yesterday
afternoon between the Washington and
Chicago clubs was not strictly flrst-class
exhibition, still IL was thoroughly interest
ing from start 10 finish, as the interest In
the final result never tagged. Both mines
made numerous errors OF the most ludl-
crous kind at critical points in the game,
and in consequence most Of the runs scored
were unearned. The visitors misplays
were more on the amateur order than were
those Of the local boys, but still with all
that they managed to bat the ball when
needed and thereby gained victory over
the Statesmen by score OF 8 to @. Shaw
made his frat appearance In the pitchers
box on the home grounds since the last
western trip, and twirled the ball very eff
feciively at times, although his old time
cannot be blamed for the loss Of
the game, as defeat resulted on ac-
count Of one Of those curious combina-
tions that so frequently occur In base ball.
Van Haltren pitched for Chicago, and out.
side OF visible nervousness, which caused
frequent bases on balls, he did remarkably
well in the face OF the inexcusable style In
which his flelders backed him up.
The local club took the lead at the start,
but were quickly, ,overhauled by the visitors,
who retained their advantage until the
close Of ,he game, but had to fight hard all
the way through to come out winner.
Daily made remarkably fine running
catch of Ryan's bat in the seventh inning,
Myers captured all that came within his
reach, and Bines and O'Brien acquitted
themselves In creditable style. The major.
ity of the Chicago team flelded in a care
less manner, but at times rallied and made
brilliant plays, a pickup aud throw by
Burns, which resulted In double play
being particularly noticeable. Attendance

Bows to tho Decree OF the Secretary of
War and Goes It Alone.
A special meeting of the Old Guard, U.
VIC, was held last evening in their hall In
the G. A. r. building. After routine busl-
ness had been transacted Capt. Edgar
called attention to the decision of the Sec
retary Of War, just received. 1t was read,
and is as follows:
II, lsS7.-SIR. In reply to your letter OF the I'd
instant, requesting that the Union Veteran
Corps, Old Guard, be allowed to retain the
arms and aceoItremen.s 1ESa issued and loSned to
cides that there is no authority Of law for the
issue OF arms to any but companies OF organ
ized militia; and, as your company has de-
clined to organize as militia company, II can
no longer retain the arms now In your posses
sion. Very respectfully, your obedient SER
want, JOHN TwEEDALE, Chief Clerk.
eran Corps. Old Guard Through Brig. Gen.
Albert Ordway, commanding d. @. militia).
Capt. Edgar stated that he had been re-
quested by Gen. Ordway to turn the arms
over to very prominent honorary member
OF the sod Guard"--Maj. II. L. Crawford,
quartermaster general Of the District mill
tia. The members seem to be much re-
lieved at a final decision being made, es-
pecially at this time, while their friends are
hot over the matter, and the prospects are
good for obtaining a full complement of
guns without much cost to the corps, as
many of the comrades and friends have
pledged their money and efforts to that
end.
1t was suggested, and agreed TO, that
each member should endeavor to bring In
one honorary member, and the resultant
fees be set aside for an ordnance fund.
A committee consisting OF Comrades
Edgar, Paige, Nelson. Skinner, Smith,
Bogia, and jacobson was appointed and
clothed with power to collect funds for the
armament OF the company.
A committee was also appointed to eS-
anime into the feasibility Of disposing OF
the shakos and procuring a more suitable
headgear.
The entertainment committee reported
all arrangements perfected for the excur-
sion to Marshall Hall July 81, and that the
outlook was favorable for a grand rally OF
the friends Of the organization. Several
applications for membership were received
and referred to the recruiting committee.
Capt. Edgar has informed Maj. Crawford
that the arms are ready to be turned over
to him at any time he sees fit to name,
